New ones need both a 8 pin and 6 pin power lead for it to get power. Also is the fan spinning around on the graphics card? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turned out there was another 4 pin (12v) power socket on the mobo, which required a power lead connected. Also it was attached to a TV that may not be compatible. Jimp is now running it off a normal monitor and getting graphics. He is now in the middle of the OS install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
